    1) If a user enters the right password in the voyager login window she is
    *authenticated to use the system* IMHO. Besides I don't think anyone
    reasonable allows unrestricted access to the voyager web page from the

    different

    2) /etc/master.password is used as a *Proof of Concept*. Feel free to
    substitute any other file that might be more damaging to have. Hmm.. it
    might be nice to snarf a copy of /etc/inetd.conf, see what's enabled.. or
    maybe I want to grab a copy of.....
